Addressing the Challenges and Issues of Blood Donation via Ubiquitous Computing

Blood is undeniably essential to save lives. The high demand for blood cannot compete with the amount collected through blood donation. In order to cater to the issue, researchers tend to focus more on the donors’ side. Meanwhile, the other party which is the blood bank continues to play its role to increase the blood supply. The blood bank processes blood in four stages: donation, screening, inventory and hospital pickup. This paper aims to address the challenges and issues in the local blood bank through ubiquitous computing, specifically at the blood donation stage. Blood donation is the most critical stage where the blood bank engages directly with the donors. The issues and challenges faced by the blood bank are uncovered by, interviews, field study and literature reviews. The proposed solution takes advantage of the ubiquitous computing concept that enables devices to communicate with each other seamlessly. With the advancement of mobile technology, smartphones become the closest of any devices to achieve ubiquitous computing. Communication technologies like Near Field Communication and Wi-Fi aid the interaction between the user and the system which are expected to solve the challenges and issues of blood donation.

BloodLine offers new horizons for health that gives aid services by utilizing the mobile devices and communication technologies. In health care services, blood donation could be a advanced method and consumes time to search out some donor who has the compatibility of people with the patient. The planned system is an android primarily based blood bank application to determine a affiliation between the requester and donor at anytime and anyplace. A bank as we all know provides blood to folks in would like now and then of emergency. The bank system is intended in such the way that users will read the knowledge concerning registered blood donors which is able to facilitate within the hour of would like. The planned system includes a login page wherever the user is needed to register, however user doesn't got to register if he doesn't notice the specified result. The user also can register to give blood on the system if they want to. therefore this technique helps to pick out the proper donor instantly using people. the most aim of developing this technique is to scale back the time to an excellent extent that's spent in searching for the proper donor and also the convenience of blood needed. therefore the planned system provides the desired info quickly and additionally helps in faster higher cognitive process.

<p>Due to high demand of using cordless mobile device, the interest in wireless energy transfer (WET) has been growth intensively. This paper presented a method to obtained optimum transmitter receiver ratio for maximum performance of WET system using different initial antenna size at various distance. An optimized algorithm has been developed to determine the optimum ratios that yield the highest wireless transfer efficiency (WTE) at near field communication (NFC) frequency, 13.56MHz. 30mm x 30mm single square loop antenna is used as initial size of both transmitter and receiver using FR4 with operating distance = 50mm. Operating distance and initial size of the antenna will be varied and the effect to the WTE will be studied using Matlab, verified using Microsoft Studio CST. At distance = 50mm and initial size of the antenna = 30mm x 30mm, optimum transmitter to receiver ratio equal to 1:3 is obtained. The pattern of optimum transmitter receiver ratio between Matlab and CST has met an agreement. This research limited to integer transmitter receiver ratio used only and no decimal number being involved in magnify the transmitter size.</p>

Model View

The implementation of context awareness in smartphones is getting broader. Through embedded sensors in smartphones, they are able to detect the device’s location and communicate through radio frequency. By communicating through Near Field Communication (NFC), smartphones are able to read NFC tags in short distances to understand the context of the information. Developing a mobile application in the context of blood donation will allow the application to assist donors through the process of donation and improves the user’s experience. The blood donation study is conducted at the National Blood Centre (NBC) in Malaysia. In developing the mobile application, the system architecture and development pattern were designed. The system architecture is presented to understand the requirements of implementing the application. The Model-View-Presenter (MVP) pattern was utilized to develop the application to ensure the development followed the standard procedure. The mobile application with the context awareness ability was evaluated through interviews with potential end users and the stakeholders of NBC. The evaluation resulted in positives responses and offered valuable feedbacks.

News forms of interaction should be considered if we want to model intelligent environments. NFC stands for Near Field Communication. NFC is a relatively new wireless technology and is gaining popularity. Its short range is the reason for its success. Operating over only short distance gives a large degree of security. The concept of NFC near field communication is that the technology is able to provide a very easy method of providing connectivity between devices that are a few centimeters apart, and without the need for all the security and set-up procedures that are needed for many other communication technologies. Thus applications using NFC will be really intuitive to use. Mobile devices have started integrating NFC capabilities into them. Nokia 6131 was the first handset to be introduced which included NFC capability. Now with increasing popularity of NFC, Android included its support for NFC with its 2.3.3 version. The major focus of this paper is developing android application(HAKI) based on NFC such as Smart posters, Attendance monitoring and helping visually impaired which targets wide range of audiences.

The phrase the Internet of things was originally coined in a 1999 presentation about attaching radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to individual objects. These tags would make the objects machine-readable, uniquely identifiable, and, most importantly, wirelessly communicative with infrastructure. This chapter evaluates RFID as a piece of mobile communicative infrastructure, and it examines two emerging forms: near-field communication (NFC) and Bluetooth low-energy beacons. The chapter shows how NFC and Bluetooth low-energy beacons may soon move some types of RFID to smartphones, in this way evolving the use of RFID in payment and transportation and enabling new practices of post-purchasing behaviors.
